City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO:COMMUNITY SERVICES AND SAFETY COMMITTEE CC: Mayor Ekberg David Cline, City Administrator FROM: Cheryl Thompson, Executive Assistant DATE: November 4, 2021 SUBJECT: Office of Public Defense 2022-2023 Grant Agreement ISSUE The Washington State Office of Public Defense (WSOPD) has awarded the City of Tukwila grant funds in the amount of $75,000 for the Public Defense Program: $37,500 for 2022 and $37,500 for 2023. Council needs to approve execution of the grant agreement since the award exceeds the $40,000 threshold. BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila has applied for and received grant awards from the WSOPD since 2013. The grant awards for 2013 – 2017 were for one year and ranged from $22,000 - $25,600. Effective 2018 WSOPD transitioned to a two-year grant application and award process and the City has received awards for $85,000 for 2018-2019 and $80,000 for 2020-2021. DISCUSSION On November 1, 2021 the City received notification that WSOPD has awarded the City $75,000 in grant funds for 2022-2023: $37,500 foreach year. WSOPD has stipulated that the grant funds be used for the following: Increased compensation for public defense service providers; Reimbursement of training costs for public defense service providers; Investigator and/or expert services; Social worker services to assist public defense attorneys; and Interpreter services for attorney-client interviews and communications. The attached Grant Agreement must be signed and returned to WSOPD by December 30, 2021 to accept the award and receive the funds. The City agrees to utilize the grant funds as stipulated by WSOPD and to submit four written reports to WSOPD as outlined in the agreement. Past grant awards from WSOPD have allowed the City to translate our public defense forms into six different languages; to provide interpreter resources to public defense attorneys for attorney-client appointments; to contract with a private investigator for public defense cases; to contract with a social services case manager to assist public defense clients in obtaining social service; to reimburse public defense attorneys for training costs for participating in trainings approved by WSOPD and to increase compensation to public defense service providers to cover additional 1 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 services implemented due to the transition to virtual court hearings. These grant funds will allow the City to continue providing these services in 2022-2023. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to send this item to the consent agenda at theNovember 22, 2021 Special meeting.
